چکیده مقاله :
مقدمه: سیاست‌های اجتماعی و نوآوری‌های بهداشتی از عوامل کلیدی در بهبود عملکرد سیستم سلامت و ارتقای رفاه اجتماعی در کشورهای در حال توسعه محسوب می‌شوند. این کشورها به دلیل محدودیت‌های مالی، ضعف زیرساخت‌های بهداشتی و نابرابری‌های اجتماعی، بیش از سایر کشورها به سیاست‌گذاری‌های کارآمد در این حوزه نیاز دارند. با توجه به نقش سیاست‌های اجتماعی در افزایش دسترسی به خدمات درمانی و کاهش نابرابری‌ها و تأثیر نوآوری‌های بهداشتی بر ارتقای کیفیت خدمات پزشکی، بررسی همزمان این دو عامل ضرورت دارد. بر همین اساس، هدف این تحقیق، تحلیل اقتصادسنجی تأثیر سیاست‌های اجتماعی و نوآوری‌های بهداشتی بر عملکرد سیستم سلامت و رفاه اجتماعی در کشورهای در حال توسعه است.
روش پژوهش: جامعه آماری این پژوهش شامل 15 کشور در حال توسعه است که بر اساس دسترسی به داده‌های معتبر انتخاب شده‌اند. دوره زمانی مطالعه سال‌های 2010 تا 2023 را پوشش می‌دهد. روش تحقیق مبتنی بر مدل سیستم معادلات همزمان(SUR) است که وابستگی متقابل بین عملکرد سیستم سلامت و رفاه اجتماعی را لحاظ می‌کند.
یافته ها: یافته‌های تحقیق نشان می‌دهد که سیاست‌های اجتماعی تأثیر مثبت و معناداری بر عملکرد سیستم سلامت با ضریب 1.263 و بر رفاه اجتماعی با ضریب 0.178 دارد. همچنین، نوآوری‌های بهداشتی تأثیر مثبت و معناداری بر سیستم سلامت با ضریب 0.056 و بر رفاه اجتماعی با ضریب 0.0032 داشته است.
نتیجه گیری: نتایج کلی این پژوهش تأیید می‌کند که سرمایه‌گذاری در سیاست‌های اجتماعی و نوآوری‌های بهداشتی، نه‌تنها منجر به بهبود شاخص‌های سلامت می‌شود، بلکه ارتقای رفاه اجتماعی را نیز به دنبال دارد. این یافته‌ها بر ضرورت افزایش حمایت‌های دولتی، توسعه فناوری‌های سلامت و اجرای سیاست‌های اجتماعی هدفمند در کشورهای در حال توسعه تأکید دارند.
Introduction: Social policies and health innovations are key factors in improving health system performance and enhancing social welfare in developing countries. These countries, due to financial constraints, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and social inequalities, require more efficient policymaking in this area than other nations. Given the role of social policies in increasing access to healthcare services and reducing inequalities, as well as the impact of health innovations on improving the quality of medical services, it is essential to examine both factors simultaneously. Therefore, the aim of this research is to econometrically analyze the impact of social policies and health innovations on health system performance and social welfare in developing countries.
Methods: The sample of this study consists of 15 developing countries, selected based on access to reliable data. The study period covers the years 2010 to 2023. The research method is based on the simultaneous equations system model (SUR), which accounts for the interdependence between health system performance and social welfare.
Results: The findings of the research show that social policies have a significant positive effect on health system performance with a coefficient of 1.263 and on social welfare with a coefficient of 0.178. Additionally, health innovations have a significant positive impact on health system performance with a coefficient of 0.056 and on social welfare with a coefficient of 0.0032.
Conclusion: Overall, the results of this study confirm that investment in social policies and health innovations not only improves health indicators but also enhances social welfare. These findings highlight the need for increased government support, the development of health technologies, and the implementation of targeted social policies in developing countries.
